Lucy was an amazing bartender! She was friendly, fast, and made great drinks all night. Her energy and attention to detail really made the experience memorable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at her bar!

The fish and chips are my go to here. It is enough for two. The fish is not greasy or overbreaded. My friend also had the shrimp basket and the size was decent but the cocktail sauce was delicious. The service is always stellar. Thank you.

I can't wait to bring my family here! The food and drinks were delicious, we accidentally spilled a drink, it was cleaned and replaced right away, the service was amazing! My Cosmo was perfect!

After years of living in the area, we finally made it here for breakfast and were NOT disappointed. The service was top notch and everyone attentive to our needs. One server overheard me telling my husband we should have ordered coffee and came right over to check if we wanted some. Within a minute or two we both had hot cups and creamer. I'm picky about restaurant coffee and this one ranked pretty high for me. We also had to order the Bacon Bloody Marys and they were delicious. The perfect balance of flavors! For food we had the Country Benedict and the Stuffed French Toast with marmalade and cream cheese. The only complaint I have is that I wished they cooked the "inside" sides of the French toast before putting them together with the filling. Because they weren't, the middle got a little soggy from the filling, but it wasn't a big enough deal to take off a star. The flavor was still yummy. Very rich though so the Bloody Mary came in handy 😆. The Country Benedict come exactly as described and was good comfort food. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of breakfast spots!

Had a pound of buffalo wings and onion rings. The wings are really flavourful with just the right amount of sauce/heat. The rings come with a side of BBQ sauce and they are perfectly crunchy and not too greasy. I also had a pretty strong IPA @ 8% and it was on the lighter side (reminded me of a blonde.) The service was great! I asked to be seated outside and the waitress was very attentive. Food came out pretty quick, but everything was fresh and hot.

The food was simply amazing I would recommend the sourdough burger it is amazing especially the fries. The beer here is good as well I rarely drink the beer but the liquor options varies so many options. The bartender and the waitress they are so great with the customers great interaction, great service, and great attitude when I visited. Overall the food was my most favorite thing to this Pub food is on point I highly recommend coming here for a great meal.

Had a great time there with my family. Staff are very friendly from the moment we walked in. Enjoyed watching the game and eating all our yummy food.

Food was great. The service, particularly our middle-aged brunette woman with the glasses, was not. Was not attentive, walked right past us without filling the obvious water that was at the edge of the table and needing refill, couldn't get her attention ever because she was too busy chatting with other staff and thus I had to get up to walk over to her and order a drink. Overall, great food, but the lazy staff hold this place back.

The chicken sandwich wasn't as spicy as I was hoping. The coleslaw was not over dressed, which I really enjoyed. The staff were friendly and engaging. It felt like I'd been in there several times, despite it being my first visit. I'll be back. I need to explore the menu.

The waitress was great. Ordered soup and half sandwich. The soup had a great taste, Mexican corn,I believe, but it was luke warm.

Cute little downtown pub in Vista. Lots of seating available- both indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Very large menu with tons of options to choose from. This location is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Staff is extremely friendly. Food was good. I was referred here by a local and it was expected pub food. The restaurant is located in a great little area with parking in front of the restaurant

We visit The Draft in Oceanside on a regular basis but their menu is kind of limited to just burgers, sammiches, wraps, wings & pizza. After seeing Vista Village Pub's menu, there's a whole plethora of options that all sounded great, so we popped in with friends on a Friday afternoon to eat. We ordered: * Killer Nachos * Buffalo Chicken Sandwich * Shepherd's Pie * Duck Wings * Long Island Iced Tea * Margarita * 2 x Breakfast Shot * and some beers The Shepherd's Pie was probably the best thing we tried. Looking like a pot pie with a crust on top, it tasted very good and the size was plenty. The Killer Nachos were pretty basic when it comes to nachos...nothing unusual or killer about it. The Duck Wings were good but they were not sauced with the buffalo sauce like I prefer. They came dry with the sauce on the side. Although these were good, I think I prefer standard chicken buffalo wings. The Buffalo Chicken sammich was also pretty basic. The cocktails were good and the beer was cold. The service was exceptional. I would have rated the food 3 stars but the service really scored that extra star for me. There is plenty of seating inside and out. Seats outside are not padded, but the seats inside are (this is always a big deal to me...I like to be comfortable and I have a flat @ss unfortunately). We definitely will come back to try more food to get a better gauge on whether this will be a routine option for us but with the vast amount of things on the menu, it may take some time

I have been going to Vista Village Pub for years, i'm giving a one star review because they have awful service on busy nights like last night, NYE. It was not very busy, there seem to be plenty of staff as usual... But for some reason, the bartenders can't serve customers standing in front of them with money. As a bartender, myself and have worked at bars with live entertainment and its packed and busy i have feedback for the owner for busy nights. Please train near barstaff, even bar backs to acknowledge customers standing at the bar to order a drink. Im holding money and in front of me to signal, I need to order. The band played two songs before anyone acknowledged me. About 4 employees were behind the bar and I kept trying to wave and get their attention but I felt they were not wanting to serve me. Finally one girl goes "oh I know you need a drink, but I don't have a drawer", but she took our order and money anyway because I probably looked annoyed. I've been here on Saint Patrick's day and other holidays and it's the same. I've walked out before because i've been ignored. I want to support this business during major holidays but they need to train their bar staff for it. Acknowledgement goes a long way. Your bar staff needs to constantly look at the bar and pay attention to who walks up, then, in a timely fashion, acknowledge that you see them and you'll be right with them. That goes a long way!!! It's so simple! Also, you need a place along the bar for walkup customers. Then, you need to train your staff to make drinks quicker i got beer, even though it was busy last night, there weren't any other people standing for drinks and the four people behind the bar were doing things that weren't that important at that time, i know this because I used to work in the bar industry. Customer's our number one and doing bar cleaning etc is 2nd unless it's an emergency like broken glass. Not shooting the shit with your fellow employees and not acknowledging customers. I hope they fix their bar staff for major holidays. I enjoy coming here, but it's so frustrating standing there and not being acknowledged and taking forever to get a drink. I would have stayed till midnight last night but ended up leaving after one because of the hassle of trying to get a drink. They do have a great food and normally good service, if it's a regular lunch day.

This place is a straight up scam, I got two 6 oz Guinness and a soup and it was $72. Response to owner: I can show my credit card history, I spoke to other locals and they have had similar experiences and have even been by the bouncer when they disagreed with items on the tab. Not everyone has had bad experience here but maybe 1/5 of my social circle. Also why do you need a bouncer midday with 2 customers besides to squeeze money out of innocent people.
